We did it!
13 May 2024We are delighted to announce that the Palmerston North Hospital Foundation has successfully raised $700,000 for the construction of a dedicated children’s emergency department at Palmerston North Hospital.
The Foundation has met with the Hospital, and we have been advised that the final cost of the build will be completely covered by the generosity of our donors and the wider community.
This simply would not be possible without your support. Thank you.
Building consent has been granted for the new Children's ED and Alexander Construction has been appointed by the Hospital as the contractor. The Hospital is expecting construction to be completed in September.
To bring us to this point, we have been overwhelmed with the support of nearly 200 generous individuals, businesses, clubs and charitable trusts.
Special thanks to Mediaworks who helped raise awareness for this project and for running the ‘MoreFM Hundy Club’ on-air in December, helping to push the Givealittle page up to $20,000.
We have been blown away by the grassroots support that this project has generated from the community; from mufti days to selling sunflowers. Thank you.
This is just the beginning for the Palmerston North Hospital Foundation. We have many other projects in the pipeline, so watch this space.
